A set of writing activities focusing on the modal verbs 'could have', 'should have' and 'would have'. Children fill in the missing modal verbs in both their full and contracted versions. They are also reminded to avoid the common mistake of writing 'of' instead of 'have'!

This resource can be used as a starter, introduction or plenary activity on modal auxiliary verbs.

Includes answers. Suitable for Y5 and Y6.

Just what I wanted. Clear to understand and useful exercises to help reinforce L.I.

A clear worksheet: I particularly like the "warning sign", noting the very often incorrectly pronounced and written "could.../should.../would have".
